In Which Alexia's Vital Statistics Are Made Most Shockingly Public
Age: 28! Which means that I am taking her from the end of the series, and anyone who plays with her should beware of falling spoilers.
Height: Rather tall
Weight: Too curvaceous to be proper
Medical Info: For all intents and purposes, a healthy woman (with a high metabolism)
Eyes: Large, dark brown
Hair: Black, slightly curly, usually worn up. (This is point on which her icons differ wildly from her actual appearance, but please do assume that her hair is typically pinned back.)
Physical traits: According to the books, Alexia's features are decidedly Italian, most notably due to her generous mouth and even more generous nose. She's also . . . uh. Got back. And bosom. The author has stated that she modeled her after Italian actress Sabrina Impacciatore who appears in most of my icons, although the books' cover model (Donna Ricci) also makes an appearance. As does Sarah Brightman specifically for her body type. Hopefully this won't be too offputting.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: Anything at all! She's Victorian (well, more or less, but we'll talk about that in a moment) and will probably be shocked by many things you have to say. Obviously this means you should bring them all up.
Notes for the Psychics/Magically or Spiritually sensitive: Alexia has no soul. There's a great deal of in-world scientific cause and effect involved, but for purposes of playing with her in camp feel free to have this be evident in whatever way makes the most sense for your character.
Abilities: Alexia negates the supernatural. In her canon, this means Vampires, Werewolves and Ghosts, as there are no other supernatural creatures in the books. And again, there's a lot of steampunk science involving an element called aether, which is not your soul but does react to it... ...so technically speaking Alexia wouldn't have any effect on people not for her canon anyway. BUT THAT'S NO FUN so I would like to play fast and loose with that as well! I will be putting up a permissions post shortly and if you would like to have Alexia strip your character of their powers/nature/unlife let's GO FOR IT.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Let's plotting.
Hugging/kissing/other non-violent physical contact: ...well, see above. (But yes.)
Maim/Murder/Death: Let's also plotting.
Cooking: Alexia loves cooking! She loves to eat it.
Other: The Parasol Protectorate is a steampunk canon, which means that Alexia's appearance and mannerisms are more or less Victorian but not exactly so... she's not going to be wearing skirts made out of gears or anything so extreme as that, but her parasol does shoot darts and has a magnetic disruptor field, for example.
There's also a certain level of anachronism to her speech that I fully intend to emulate because F YOU I'M NOT VICTORIAN. Please be kind and allow me to do this, and feel free to assume that camp's translation program may be taking a hand as well.
